I would definitely recommend Phi and the Newline Painting team to anyone looking to refresh or transform their space with a beautiful new coat of paint.
The whole process was excellent. From first contact, to quote, to price, to organising a date and time, and the paint job. You can tell these guys care about their work and their customers. Will definitely use again!
They are quality tradesmen, very respectful of our space and left it in great condition at the end of each work day. Great attention to detail.
Each of the team were extremely pleasant to deal with, easy communication including Roi at head office.
Exceptional!
Affordable, very good customer service and the final product was really good

Fewer heritage overlays, but era still rules the job
Glen Eira has notably fewer heritage overlays than neighbouring councils, so most Bentleigh exteriors can be repainted in any scheme without a planning permit. That freedom doesn’t change what the house is: a 1920s Californian bungalow or a 1950s weatherboard still needs era-appropriate preparation and products to look right and last. We paint to the building.
Lead paint is still likely in pre-1970 Bentleigh homes
Most of Bentleigh’s Californian bungalows, interwar brick veneers and postwar weatherboards were painted with lead-based products at some point before 1970. We treat every pre-1970 surface as lead until tested: contained wet-sanding, drop-sheet capture and correct disposal, never the dry-sanding that drifts lead dust through a family home or across the vegie patch.
Inland of the bay: real exposure, honest products
Bentleigh sits a few kilometres inland from Port Phillip, so we don’t sell you marine-grade coatings you don’t need. The real enemies here are afternoon sun on west-facing weatherboard and render, winter damp on shaded southern walls, and seasonal movement in older timber. We match the system to each elevation: UV-stable topcoats where the sun hits hardest, mould-resistant paint where it never does.
Knockdown-rebuilds, townhouses and school-zone repaints
Bentleigh’s blocks are turning over fast, with original bungalows becoming townhouse pairs and renovations chasing the McKinnon Secondary school-zone premium. We paint both ends of that churn: crisp render and plasterboard on new builds and body-corporate townhouse rows, and pre-sale repaints timed to auction campaigns off Centre Road where presentation directly moves the result.

Request a free quote online or by phone. We confirm scope, products and price in writing before anything is booked: a fixed figure you can plan around, not an estimate that grows once we're on site.
Our painters get to work
Our trade-qualified painters do the preparation properly. Sanding, filling and sealing come first, then premium paints go on for a smooth, durable finish that suits your Bentleigh home, whether it's an original or a new build.
Walkthrough and 7-year warranty
Before we sign off, we walk every room with you and fix anything on the spot. You approve the finish first, and the written 7-year workmanship warranty then protects it for years afterwards.

What Changes the Price of a Bentleigh Painting Quote
Painting a house in Bentleigh typically costs between A$4,000 and A$20,000 or more, depending on the size and condition of the home. As a per-square-metre guide, standard interior work runs about A$20 to A$30, detailed work with heavy trim rises to A$60 to A$100, and exterior repainting sits around A$15 to A$60. Bentleigh tends toward the upper end, because the period homes here carry more trim, taller walls and more preparation than a modern build. Four things do most of the work on your quote, and our painting cost guide works through three examples in detail.
Surface area & number of coats
Nobody can quote a Bentleigh repaint off a price list: a 1930s brick veneer, a weatherboard near Patterson station and a brand-new townhouse are three different jobs. These are the three things that actually set your price, and our painting cost calculator can give you a ballpark before anyone visits.
Prep work required
The biggest lever is simply how much house we’re painting. A double-fronted Californian bungalow off Centre Road, with its deep eaves, timber-lined porch and generous rooms, carries more paintable surface than a compact postwar weatherboard, and a full repaint before an auction is a different scope again to freshening two bedrooms. The quote reflects exactly what is being painted.
Paint product specified
Then comes what the surfaces need before a brush ever touches them. Bentleigh’s interwar and postwar homes are mostly pre-1970, so lead-safe handling is often part of the job, along with re-puttying timber windows, filling settled plaster cracks and sealing chalky old weatherboard. On an older exterior repaint that preparation can be more than half the labour, and it decides whether the finish lasts five years or fifteen.
Access & height
Paint choice moves the price too: Dulux Wash & Wear sits below Haymes Ultra-Premium, and we specify Wattyl Solagard where a west-facing Bentleigh weatherboard or rendered parapet takes the full afternoon sun. The tin we open on site is the one your quote priced. No switching to a cheaper tin mid-job.
A worked example for a Bentleigh home
Rate bands are only useful once you put them against a real house. Take a postwar brick veneer or Californian bungalow in Bentleigh, picture rails, timber trim and a wide hallway.

That is a planning figure, not a quote. Preparation condition, colour change, ceiling height and access move it, which is why we measure on site and give you one itemised written price rather than a rate.
